7.3.1 Minimum Pulse Duration

The TPS40077 devices have limitations on the minimum pulse duration that can be used to design a converter. Reliable operation is assured for nominal pulse durations of 150 ns and above. This places some restrictions on the conversion ratio that can be achieved at a given switching frequency. Figure 14 shows minimum output voltage for a given input voltage and frequency.
